This is a magazine recipe that I adapted and it was a huge hit tonight! If you like pork roast and applesauce, you'll love this one.
1 pork roast (ours was about 2lbs)
4 large cooking apples such as Cortland or Rome Beauty (8oz each), peeled and cut into 1" chunks
3 large firm pears such as Anjou or Bosc (8oz each), peeled and cut into 1" chunks
1/3c packed brown sugar
1/2c dried fruit such as cranberries, cherries, or raisins
1/4tsp ground cinnamon
In 4.5-6qt slow cooker bowl, toss apples, pears, sugar, dried fruit and cinnamon until combined. Nest pork roast in the center. Cover with lid and cook on low setting about 8 hours or until center of pork reaches 165 degrees.
It would also taste good with all apples, or with other dried fruit (like apricots) added. This recipe ends up with fairly mushy apples and pears; if you like your fruit firmer, I'd cook the pork for 4 hours and then add the fruit for the remaining time.
Enjoy!!
